Th'. Confederate return of losses is very inaccu- 
rate and defective. Gen. Meade had over 13,000 
prisoners ; yet Lee returns but 5,150 missing men. 

Many of Lee's organizations made no returns or 
only a partial one. From various data it can be 
stated that Lee's loss was about as follows : 

Killed 4,600 

Wounded, 18,300 

Unwounded prisoners and deserters, . 9.000 
Total, . . . 31,900 

The Gettysburg campaign commenced June 3d 
and ended August ist, 1863. In that time there were 
115 battles, engagements, actions and skirmishes. In 
all these the Federal loss was :

In all, twenty-nine States of the Union had troops 
in the two contending hosts at Gettysburg, Maryland 
having commands in both armies. 

The State of Virginia supplied one-fourth of the 
infantry, two-thirds of the cavalry, and nearly two- 
thirds of the artillery that invaded the North. The 
States of Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia fur- 
nished nearly three-fourths of the material compos- 
ing the Army of Northern Virginia. 



GENERAL OFFICERS KILLED AND WOUNDED 

The following list comprehends the most promi-

rank of general ; or, who, with a lower rank, were 
filling a general's place at the time. Also, in the 
Union army, some specially conspicuous names of 
those who fell at the head of regiments or batteries:

FORCES ENGAGED. 



Widely diverging figures have been given in re- 
gard to Gen. Lee's force. Immediately after the bat- 
tle, on account of the lack of accurate information, 
the estimate was too high. The figures subsequently 
given by some southern authorities and by the Comte 
de Paris, were too low. The compiler of this Souvenir 
devoted months to the critical examination of all at- 
tainable information on this subject. A full chapter 
of his forthcoming work is devoted to its discussion. 
The result is :

ITEMS ABOUT GETTYSBURG. 

One-eighteenth of the free population of the 
U. S. fought at Gettysburg. 



The Rebellion lasted four years. It comprised 
S92 fierce engagements. One-nineteenth of the 
Union loss of the whole war was at Gettysburg. 



The killed and wounded of the two armies at 
Gettysburg surpassed the present population of the 
City of Harrisburg. 



The only woman killed was Jenny Wade, a beau- 
tiful young lady, engaged at the time in baking 
bread. 

John Burns, an aged citizen, fought in the ranks 
of the ist Corps, in the first day's fight, until se- 
verely wounded. 



The first soldier killed on the Gettysburg Battle- 
Field was George W. Sandoe, belonging to a local 
cavalry company, killed in a skirmish, June 26th, 1863. 



The 26th North Carolina went into the fight with 
less than Soo men. It reported 86 killed, 502 wounded; 
total, 588. This does not include 120 missing. In 
one company of 84, every officer and man was hit. 



The ist Minnesota went into battle with 252 men. 
It had 229 killed and wounded. 205 were killed and 
wounded in one charge, in less than three minutes 
time— 75 being killed. 



Pickett's division took 4,800 men into the charge. 
It left 3,393 at or near the Federal works, the 
slaughter occupying less than three minutes. Of 
four generals and fifteen regimental commanders, all 
were killed or wounded except Pickett and one lieu- 
tenant-colonel, two brigade and twelve regimental 
commanders being killed. 



In many of the regiments of Longstreet and Hill, 
every regimental oflficer and nearly every company 
oflRcer were killed or wounded. 



The compiler of this "Gem Souvenir" 
takes pleasure in calling the attention of the 
travelling public and army veterans to the 
fact that the direct route from Harrisburg 
to the 

WORLD'S GREATEST AND MOST 

BEAUTIFUL BATTLE-FIELD, 

Has passed under the control of the 

Philadelphia & Reading R.R. 

All difficulties of the past in reaching this 
world-famous field are now obviated by the 
new and excellent management. 

FOUR TRAINS, EACH WAY, DAILY, BETWEEN 
HARRISBURG AND GETTYSBURG. 

From any part of the Union you will reach 

Gettysburg most easily by the 

"Reading" R. R. 

DIRECT THROUGH LINE FROM NEW YORK 
AND PHILADELPHIA. 

If you wish comfort, safety and speed, take 
the "Reading" Route. 



The Comte de Paris said of Gettysburg : 

" Euroi>e has nothing to compare with it.
